  • Wikipedia section on Seventh Day Adventist creationism: here.
  • From the Geoscience Research Institute, which "uses both science and revelation to study the question of origins" serving the Seventh-day Adventist church in the areas of research and communication:
    • Flood Geology
    • George McCready Price's ministry and his book The New Geology; the Deluge Geology Society. (Henry Morris, co-author of The Genesis Flood (1961) extended Price's belief in recent creation of the Earth to the entire Universe.)

Christadelphian response

  • Brother Alan Hayward and others warned against YEC and The Genesis Flood in the 1960s.

**TODO: get more, earlier - this is 1980s**
Brethren who prefer to believe in “Flood Geology” [i.e. a global Flood that shaped the surface of the world] and a young universe are entitled to do so. But they should not delude themselves that such views are a part of historical Christadelphianism.

Alan Hayward, Our Pioneers' Views on Geology, The Christadelphian, Vol. 120 (Birmingham: CMPA, 1983), p. 429 cited here.
